Okaka onigiri is a classic Japanese rice ball filled with savory bonito flakes (katsuobushi) seasoned with soy sauce. You will enjoy these delicious rice balls packed with deep, savory taste!
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preparation: Cut the nori sheet into three equal pieces. Combine the katsuobushi with soy sauce in a bowl. Prepare the cooked rice, a bowl of water, and salt.
- Assemble: Place some rice in a small bowl, make a small dent in the center, and add the katsuobushi. Cover with more rice.
- Shape the Onigiri: Wet your hands with water, sprinkle salt (using two fingertips) on your palms, and rub together. Place the rice in your hand and gently press with both palms to form a triangle, rolling it a few times to shape.
- Wrap: Wrap the rice ball with a piece of nori.
Notes
- Storage: Wrap each one with plastic wrap, put it in a container, and keep them in the fridge for a couple of days and one month in the freezer.
- Variations: See the "Variations" section for more salmon onigiri ideas.
- To prevent rice from sticking, wet your hands or use plastic wrap.

- When adding nori, place the shiny side outward for a polished look.
